Today in History: The Simpsons

On this day (April 19) in 1987, the Simpson’s first appeared on the Tracey Ullman show. The dysfunctional family has always been a bit controversial, but quickly became beloved by millions despite this. My brother made me watch my first episode (“Some Enchanted Evening”, but I think of it as, “The Babysitter Bandit”) totally against my will, but converted me in just a handful of minutes. It’s Treehouse of Horror episodes have become a Halloween institution. What’s your favorite Simpson’s episode?
